Marseille have been chronically unpredictable in any case in recent months, so the departure of Roberto De Zerbi maybe doesn’t change too much. There is always uncertainty when a manager departs. It makes anticipating the kind of performance that the team will put in very difficult, but that is what De Zerbi bemoaned in his final weeks as manager. There is still incredible talent in this side and they have enough to beat anyone, even PSG, as they did earlier in the season.
But their is an air of crisis around the club and the slide must be arrested. Strasbourg are probably not the team you would want to face to do that. Gary O’Neil’s side lost against Le Havre last weekend, which was largely the result of Ismael Doukouré’s red card inside 30 minutes. They really have the means to hurt an OM side that could look slightly disorganised. It is in those conditions that this transitional and vertical Strasbourg side can thrive.
